Chapter 1549: Time is Running Out
The soldiers of the expeditionary force couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when they saw Fengyun running away.
Fortunately, they have been with him for a while, and they know a little bit about his personality.
In the end, although they were surprised by his performance, they did not show it, and remained where they were, keeping their mouths firmly closed, without making a sound.
Of course, it is also possible that they are forced by the situation.
If they make a noise, the giant cannibal barbarians will find out about them.
It has no mercy on the cannibal barbarians who are on its side, and naturally it will not be merciful to them.
With the current strength gap between them, not to mention the ordinary soldiers in the expeditionary force, even the city lords of Rock City will definitely not be able to last more than a while under it.
But they also know that time is running out for them.
After it gouged out the eyeballs, although the place where the eyeballs were originally staying became two deep black holes, they could see very clearly except for some reasons that they could not see due to the angle, and there was something growing rapidly in its eye sockets.
If nothing else, what grows out will be a pair of eyes.
Once its sight is restored, they will be completely exposed, if not the slightest sound.
You're welcome to put it mildly. Time is running out for them.
By this time, not only the ordinary soldiers of the expeditionary force were sweating, but also sweat stains appeared on their foreheads.
But that's not the worst of it.
Worst of all, after they were sweating, the giant cannibal barbarians seemed to smell the sweat and turned their heads and twitched their noses as if they were looking for something.
Combined with his actions, the soldiers of the expeditionary force immediately determined that it was looking for them.
In an instant, the sweat they were pouring out began to surge.
Even though they all knew that sweating too much would speed up their exposure, they couldn't control it at all.
However, it is precisely what you are afraid of that will come.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force feared that the giant man-eating barbarians would confirm their location through the smell of sweat they emitted, and it did.
It began to move, and walked towards a crowd of expeditionary force soldiers.
They huddled together to fight the insecurity and fear, and in this way emboldened each other, but now they became the culprits of their exposed whereabouts.
However, the soldiers of the expeditionary force are carefully selected after all, and their psychological endurance is far from being comparable to that of ordinary totem warriors.
Even when they saw the giant cannibal barbarians walking towards them, they still didn't collapse, and even slowly stood up one by one.
They didn't say what they were going to do, but the rest of the expedition could guess that they wanted to use themselves as bait to lure the giant cannibal barbarians away.
They didn't try to stop them.
Although it was very dangerous to do so, and the chances of survival of the expeditionary soldiers who stood up were bound to be very slim, they knew better that if they did not lure the giant cannibal barbarians away, they would all die at its hands.
In order not to let the soldiers of the expeditionary force who stood up die worthless, they will do their best to reduce the movement they have made, at least not to attract the attention of the giant cannibal barbarians.
"Whew......"
Just when the soldiers of the expeditionary force closed their mouths one by one, and even held their breath to prevent themselves from making a sound, a piercing scream suddenly sounded in their ears, attracting their attention.
They subconsciously began to track its whereabouts, only to find that it was not difficult, on the contrary, even the worst of them had a sense of direction to figure out its movements in a very short time.
As for the reason, it's very simple, it's very different from the usual screaming.
It plays a long note all the way.
So when it came from a distance, the soldiers of the expeditionary force could easily confirm its trajectory.
After confirming the origin of the voice, they all subconsciously turned their heads to look at it, and then they spotted it.
Although the sound is not normally visible unless it is used by some medium, this time it is not so troublesome and can be seen directly by the naked eye, more precisely what it is made of.
It's an arrow, or more accurately, three arrows, one flying straight and the other two circling around it.
Of course, the soldiers of the expeditionary force can spot them so easily, in addition to the sound they make gives them good guidance, and there is another very important reason, that is, they are not flying fast.
Not to mention that compared to the speed of the arrows shot by the city lords of Rock City, it is still a lot worse than the speed of the arrows shot by the weakest one of the expeditionary forces.
Obviously, an arrow of this speed does not have much lethality, even if it is shot directly at the giant cannibal barbarian, it is equivalent to tickling it, and it will definitely not really hurt it.
But even so, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were not disappointed, on the contrary, their eyes radiated with joy, because they all understood that these three arrows were not used to shoot the giant cannibal barbarians.
Their real purpose is to get its attention.
If it notices them, with its personality, it will definitely track them down.
Then it must be gone, and without it they are saved.
Their hearts were full of gratitude to Fengyun.
Although they didn't see Fengyun shoot those three arrows with their own eyes, in the current situation, thinking about it with their knees, they would also understand that only he would shoot at this time.
Then they saw a gratifying scene, the giant cannibal barbarians stopped approaching the group of expeditionary warriors and turned to face the three arrows.
Before the three arrows could get near it, it met them.
When it got closer to the arrow, it reached out and grabbed at it.
But it didn't.
Just as its palm was about to touch them, they suddenly accelerated, like a school of frightened fish, and exploded at once, and in the end, it didn't catch any of the three arrows.
Having escaped the capture of the giant cannibal barbarians, the arrow was not satisfied, on the contrary, it was still circling around it, looking very arrogant.
Enraged, the giant cannibal barbarian swung his arms and slammed into them, but they stopped pestering, turned around and flew away.
The giant cannibal barbarians chased after them, much to the relief of the expeditionary force soldiers, who were safe. At the same time, they also had a strong curiosity and wanted to take a look with them, but they were directly rejected by the city lord of Rock City.
